My hotkeys have all stopped working. The two big changes I have recently made are using a kvm switch and using synergy. I tried to trouble shoot by:
Removing both of these things from my system
Changing what buttons activate my hotkeys, currently they are all win key + letter
Booting into safe mode to see if hotkeys worked there
Stopping all running software but displayfusion

None of this has worked.

Strange! Couple of questions for you:
  • Does the Win key work by itself? (i.e. if you press just the Win key, does the Start menu open?)
  • If you assign a different key combination, like Ctrl + Shift + key, does it work?
Thanks!

1. Yes it works by itself
2. No changing the hotkey away from the windows key didnt work. On a side note I am not able to change hotkeys to ctrl + shift + ?, the shift key always forces itself to be first.

Next thing I am going to troubleshoot is my razer black widow keyboard. I already uninstalled the software, though it was never an issue before. I am going to try and clear any macros i may have inadvertently created. It is not set on game mode or any other mode far as i can tell.

It's not the keyboard because I tested another keyboard and it still doesn't work. I am going to try reinstalling now.

So resinstalling has fixed the problem. If I load my saved settings however hotkeys stop working. So I am going to have to remake all my shortcuts and change all my settings how I want them. Sigh.

Is there a way in DF for defaulting all your settings?

That's really strange! If you load your backup, then on the Settings > Functions tab, click the "Reset All Functions" button, does that fix up the hotkeys?

The strangeness continues, I restored from backup then reset all settings. Then I assigned new hotkey and it didn't work. I then restored to the backup I made right before I attempted this and the hotkeys continued the work as they have been for the last day.

That is strange indeed! Please let me know if they do stop working again and we'll go from there.

Thanks!
